Does anyone know the correct size for these so they fit on the hubs properly? Thinking of either fitting my deep dish 20's or just making the standard 19's look less lost

Correct size as in what? PCD, depth etc etc. I'm running 20 and 15mm front and rear respectively. You will need to cup the stud tips off as well. And roll the rear arches to give tyre clearence.
It's not as simple as you think.

Thanks Roger, won't worry about the standard wheels then if it's that much hassle, the other wheels that I had came off the ute the measurements are, front 20 x 8-1/2 JJ et 42 and the rear is 20 x 10 JJ et 48 if that helps at all, don't clear calipers on the R8 as they are

Doubt the alternative alloys will work as you need at least 15mm spacers to give enough meat to bolt them onto the hub and your offsets to low already on the back to do that. Stock 9.5 with 15mm sets the rim out as far as possible with a roll just getting enough clearence.

I can sell you my setup once I've tubbed mine in April and fitted 13x19" rims out back! wink

Oh and I can even roll your arches for you as have all the kit. No Monaro owners though as their arches are a nightmare with anything past a small roll.

Have you noticed much difference with your current set up? Looks good in the picture!

Not really but I had Pedders Supercar coilovers and Pedders ARBs fitted about the same time. I've done it for looks as stock 19 or 20s look lost inside the arches! I a, sure it feels slightly better but to much else changed to notice.

Stock no spacers
